Work as a social category instigates me to study some professions that are invisible to society, such as gravediggers. It was from this uneasiness that I made the choice of theme for my research. Delimiting the theme I chose to research: A glance towards the gravediggers - invisible workers. Thus, the purpose of this study was to understand the perception of society about the gravediggers as workers inserted in the world of work, based on the reports of these professionals; and specifically, to reflect from the work of interview with the gravediggers what the senses they attribute to their profession of gravediggers; Analyze the choice of gravedigger's job; Expand the vision to see who are these workers / gravediggers, indispensable in the world of work. The theoretical framework is anchored in Bauman (2005), Zelenovic (2008), Rabelo (2014), Captive et. al. (2014), Monteiro et al. (2017), Iraha et. al. (2017), Jacques (2012) and others. This research is explanatory with a qualitative approach, and the method adopted was the dialectic. For the collection of data an interview was made with the gravediggers, from the four cemeteries of the city of Rondonópolis. From the data found, it is important to choose the profession; the feeling of how they are viewed by society; the invisibility, the prejudice, the discrimination suffered by the gravediggers by a large part of society; the difficulty of dealing with death at the beginning of the profession and in the daily life, the naturalization of living with death and, at the same time, ambivalence, for although the office of grave-digger / burial has become a natural routine, they still with the pain of losing the other. Even though they are considered by many as "human waste", they are indispensable in the world of work and invisible to society.
